Garmin talk

Hi all.

After performing a map update to my nuvy 1490lmt I found
that the files gmapprom.img and gmapbmap are both winzip files.

Since I'm running out of space, can I delete both files?.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The American Radio Relay League is now offering their repeater database as a download for Garmin Nuvi units.

So, what do my fellow members here think about TV integrated with GPS?

I just purchased a garmin nuvi 1340LMT. I am trying to create a gpx file thru gsak using the NUVI_GPX_BY_CT.gsk macro. I can not get it to create the raomingsak tourguide file. I am getting frustrated and could use all the help. Philander has helped me greatly and I did as he suggested but I cant get the files to be created.

I know that there have been some posts last year about this application, but I am now interested in this and I hope some people have this and can answer some questions. I don't have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, but my wife and both of our sons each ahs an iPod Touch. I am considering buying an Apple device for this application and some others.

That old thread about Lifetime maps at $86.00 keeps getting new posts. Well, today (3/13/2012) you can get Lifetime maps for $59.00 from Walmart, and it comes with a new Nuvi GPS! The GPS is a 1100LM and here is the link:

I'm having trouble installing the garmin POI Loader. After downloading the latest version, 2.7.1, I get the following message: "This is an unsupported OS version. This application requires Windows XP SP2 or greater". I'm running Windows 7. I've tried running "Windows Compatibility" tool, no luck.

i tried to download a software update for my kenwood kna g510 sd reader.( 4.10 ) after downloading it and puting the card in the unit i can not get the unit to recognise the software.

is there something else i need to put on the sd card for the unit to recognise the update.

if you have this information please be specific as i'am not a computer expert.

thanks,

Wanna see what your Garmin GPS screen looks like when you're flying on a plane?

How do you add "Custom POI's" icon to the "Where to" menu on the Nuvi2555LMT?

my 1490's memory is getting full. So I inserted a 1GB card and placed all my POI files on it.
The questions are:
- What can I delete from the internal memory?
I have already deleted most of the Text\ language files.

- Will the 1490 find the POI files on the SD card automatically or do I need to configure something?

- What other folders can I move to the SD card?

thx

I just purchased my first Garmin, a 2555. I like it, but dont like the fact that I cant seem to control which of the POI categories display while I am driving.

Is there a way to change the defaults so I can see all my desired POI icons?

Is this the same on other Garmins, or do they allow you to select the POIs that display on the map?

I just purchased a Nuvi 3490lmt. I understand it has lifetime 3d traffic. I am also getting an Android phone to use to connect to the "Smartphone Link" services.
What I can't find out is, what's the difference between the existing 3d traffic and the Live Traffic.

I have a Nuvi 660 that has been acting up for sometime now. So my wife and I decided to purchase a new GPS for an upcoming trip in April.

We decided on purchasing a Nuvi 1450LMT. On my 660 I have a memory card installed that I had the Red Light Camera poi loaded on to it. I once subscribed here to gain access to the red light camera poi.

Hi,
Can't find the answer whether the 3490lmt displays current speed while in navigation mode. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the language guide on an SD card. I copied it on my computer and then I switched out the LEX_PKG on my Garmin. When I started the Garmin back up the program was locked Is there any way to unlock this program? There was one file on the card that I didn't put on the GPS the gmapsupp.uni because there was not a file to switch it out with.

I just bought yet another gps!

Since the etrex 10, 20, 30 came out the used prices for the older models have dropped a lot from a year ago when I looked. So, I just picked up a mint condition etrex vista hcx for $140 w/case, charger, microSD, etc.
